Based on meticulous research and told in the voices of characters
from both sides, this novel is Shaara at his best, writing for his
most avid readership. In April of 1862, Major General Ulysses S.
Grant of the Union forces led his troops deep into Tennessee,
setting up camp around a small log church called Shiloh. On the
morning of April 6, Confederate forces led by generals Johnston and
Beauregard launched a surprise attack on the Union Army encampment
to prevent the Union advance into northern Mississippi. Though the
Confederates held the advantage for most of the first day, Union
reinforcements arrived as evening came and launched a counterattack
on the morning of April 7, successfully forcing the Confederates to
retreat and ending what had become one of the bloodiest battles on
American soil to date.
